Barbaric alliance – Report Saudis align with Israel to attack Iran

“Israel is working on coordinating plans for a possible military strike with Saudi Arabia, with Riyadh prepared to provide tactical support to Jerusalem, a British newspaper [The Times] reported early Sunday.

“The two countries have both united in worry that the West may come to terms with Iran, easing sanctions and allowing the Islamic Republic to continue its nuclear program.” Israel Times, Nov 17

The Times article also reported that Jordan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates might be in on the attack as well.

A war with Iran, with or without U.S. participation, would be a disaster for the world economy. More importantly, it would compound the level of continued suffering by Arabs and Iranians since attack on Iran by Saddam Hussein’s forces.

Is this serious? We don’t know but to be so, Israeli and Saudi leadership are delusional. The blowback for both nations would be immediate and devastating; and that’s blowback from major powers.

The Israel right or wrong public sentiment vanished from the United States some time ago. That change was made official in a University of Maryland poll in 2012. A strong majority of the U.S. electorate opposed any assistance to Israel if Israel attacked Iran and Iran fought back. That’s right, none.

Crashing the world economy would hardly endear Israel to the United States. AIPAC doesn’t have the money to buy Israel’s way out of that.

As for the corrupt Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a military action with Israel would finish any influence the oil oligarchs might ever have in the Middle East. It would provide the Shias in the resource rich provinces the incentive they need to engage in some serious struggles against the oppression they suffer.

We could also expect to see the emergence of one of those Arab Spring regime change efforts sponsored by U.S. intel aimed at toppling the regime.

The story originated in the Rupert Murdoch Times. Murdoch is a pro Israel propagandist. In this case, the Israelis and Saudis may be threatening this sort of action in order to derail or otherwise influence the U.S.-EU negotiations with Iran.

This is a direct affront to the United States, Russia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Will they take it sitting down? Maybe, if there’s already a deal in place with Iran for the next meeting and those powers intend to tell the Saudis and Israelis to stop the threats.

Meanwhile, the serious problems facing the United States and the world are put on hold for this violent paranoia.

Well, the curtains are drawn back & a Saudi/Zionist nexus is explicitly revealed. The tribal ties between the Saudi Royals and a remnant of Jews who maintained their ties on the peninsula — long a rumor, is becoming explicit. Saudi oil and Jewish domination of the West’s banking and America’s media apparently goes only so far. Inability to panic the USG into yet another war against yet another Baathist (e.g.,secular, multi-cultural) regime may just push these gutless warmongers up their own fundaments. One way to get rid of ‘em.

Saudi Arabia has ruled out any contact with Israel, with which it has no diplomatic ties, after a British newspaper reported that the two countries could coordinate efforts against Iran.

The kingdom “has no relations or contacts with Israel of any kind or at any level,” said a foreign ministry spokesman, quoted by state news agency SPA on Monday.

Under the headline “Two old foes unite against Tehran,” Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper said Israel and Saudi Arabia were working together on “contingency plans for a possible attack on Iran if its nuclear programme is not significantly curbed.”

“As part of the growing cooperation, Riyadh is understood already to have given the go-ahead for Israeli planes to use its airspace in the event of an attack on Iran,” it said.

The Saudi spokesman said the report was “completely unfounded”.

The Israeli and Saudi governments are convinced that the international talks to place limits on Tehran’s military nuclear development will do little to slow its development of a nuclear warhead.

Widely believed to have a formidable nuclear arsenal itself, Israel has refused to rule out bombing Iran’s facilities, as it reportedly did with an Iraqi reactor in 1981 and a Syrian facility in 2007.
